CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a 37 C.F.R. §1.53(b) divisional of, andclaims priority to, U.S. application Ser. No. 13/778,585, filed on Feb.27, 2013. Priority is claimed to Japanese Application No. 2012-043952filed on Feb. 29, 2012, the entire contents of which are herebyincorporated by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing acrosslinkable silicone rubber emulsion which can be produced by a simplemethod, and which exhibits lower skin irritancy. This invention alsoproposes its production method.

BACKGROUND ART

Aqueous emulsion of a silicone rubber resin has been known in the art,and various products are on the market including those intended for thecosmetic preparation. However, almost all such commercially availableproducts for the application of cosmetic preparation are silicone rubberresins emulsified and dispersed in water by using a silicone oil or thelike, and these products can not be regarded as a product in an aqueoussystem. JP-A H10-175816 discloses the system wherein silicone rubberparticles are synthesized, dried, and again emulsified and dispersed,and this process requires the steps of drying and emulsification inaddition to the step of the polymerization. Another known products areaqueous dispersions of the silicone rubber by addition reaction of ahydrogen polysiloxane and a vinyl polysiloxane. These products, however,tend to undergo separation, and because of such separation, almost allof these aqueous dispersions were used in the form of powder afterseparation and they were rarely used in the cosmetic preparation in theform of an aqueous dispersion. In another method, the silicone rubberproduced, for example, by solution polymerization is dissolved again ina silicone oil, and then subjected to mechanical emulsification (JP-AH08-245881). This method is economically disadvantageous.

Silicone emulsions capable of forming a film by crosslinking have alsobeen disclosed in JP-A 2007-51236, and these products are in the marketsince their high strength and softness as well as water repellency werehighly evaluated. These are products prepared by simple emulsionpolymerization using a siloxane for the starting material, and thuseconomically advantageous. These products, however, containedsurfactants and acids unsuitable for cosmetic products.

JP-A H11-71522 discloses a polyorganosiloxane emulsion prepared byemulsion polymerization of a silanol group-endcappedpolydiorganosiloxane in the presence of (B) an unsaturated aliphaticsulfonate and/or sulfonate methyl hydroxide formed in the reactionsystem of a sulfonate salt and an acid and (C) water. Thispolyorganosiloxane emulsion, however, uses sulfuric acid, hydrochloricacid, formic acid, and sulfonic acid in its production. These acids aremostly strong acids under the restriction of Poisonous and DeleteriousSubstances Control Act and other laws, and their use in the applicationof cosmetic preparation is unsuitable. Formic acid which is not a strongacid is also under the restriction of Poisonous and DeleteriousSubstances Control Act as a deleterious substance when used at a highconcentration, and its use in the application of cosmetic preparation isalso unsuitable.

JP-B S44-20116 discloses an emulsion polymerization method of anorganosiloxane and a silanol group-containing disilcarbane in an aqueousmedium in the presence of a sulfonic acid catalyst having surfactantactivity selected from benzene sulfonic acid substituted with analiphatic hydrocarbon group, naphthalene sulfonic acid, aliphatichydrocarbon sulfonic acid, and silylalkylsulfonic acid, which is mosttypically an alkylbenzene sulfonic acid such as dodecylbenzene sulfonicacid. However, these are silicone oils, and they are used in a mannerclearly different from the silicone rubber. As in the case ofliteratures as described above, the acid used is a strong acid which isunsuitable for use in the application of cosmetic preparation.

Such polymerization also inevitably involves use of an anionicsurfactant such as sodium laurylsulfate or sodium laureth sulfate.However, these compounds, are irritant and under the restriction of Lawconcerning Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (hereinafter alsoreferred to as PRTR). Also, these compounds may be toxic to human andenvironment (aquatic life), and accordingly, they are not suitable as amaterial used in cosmetic preparations.

In addition, properties such as high spreadability, lighter texture, andsofter touch are expected for a preparation used in cosmeticapplications.

The alkoxysilane or its partial hydrolytic condensate or anα,ω-dihydroxy or dialkoxy siloxane oligomer is preferably used in anamount of 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 2 parts byweight, and still more preferably 0.01 to 1 part by weight in relationto 100 parts by weight of the cyclic organosiloxane.

In the present invention, the organopolysiloxane of the formula (1) isobtained from the starting materials as described above by ring openingpolyperization by using at least one member selected from citric acid,lactic acid, and ascorbic acid for the catalyst, and an anionicsurfactant for the emulsifier.

The anionic surfactant is preferably the one listed in JapaneseStandards of Quasi-drug Ingredients (JSQI) 2006 and the one notrestricted by The Japanese Standards of Cosmetic Ingredients in thePharmaceutical Affairs Law, and the one which is less irritant, and theone not restricted by poisonous or deleterious substance in thePoisonous and Deleterious Substances Control Act, or Law concerningPollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR).

Examples of such anionic surfactants include N-acylamino acid salts,N-acyltaurinates, aliphatic soaps, and alkylphosphate salts, and thepreferred are those which are highly soluble in water and those nothaving polyethylene oxide chain. The anionic surfactant is morepreferably selected from N-acylamino salts, N-acyltaurinates, aliphaticsoaps, and alkylphosphate salts, especially N-acylamino acid salts inwhich the acyl group has 10 to 20 carbon atoms, N-acyltaurinates inwhich the acyl group has 10 to 20 carbon atoms, aliphatic soaps having10 to 20 carbon atoms, and alkylphosphate salts having 10 to 20 carbonatoms.

Preferably, 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.5 to 10parts by weight of the anionic surfactant is used in relation to the 100parts by weight of the cyclic organosiloxane. When the content isexcessively low, the emulsification will not proceed or theemulsification will be extremely unstable, while excessively highcontent may lead to insufficient reaction of the cyclic organosiloxane.

A nonionic surfactant such as polyoxyethylene alkylether may be used incombination with the anionic surfactant. However, use of nonionicsurfactant alone can not retain its surfactant activity under the hightemperature, acidic conditions of the polymerization.

The acid catalyst used for the polymerization catalyst is preferably theone not restricted by The Japanese Standards of Cosmetic Ingredients inthe Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and the one listed in Japanese Standardsof Quasi-drug Ingredients 2006, and the one not restricted by poisonousor deleterious substance in the Poisonous and Deleterious SubstancesControl Act, or Law concerning Pollutant Release and Transfer Register.Examples include citric acid, lactic acid, and ascorbic acid, and thepreferred is citric acid.

Preferably, 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.2 to 2parts by weight of the catalyst is used in relation to 100 parts byweight of the cyclic organosiloxane. Use of an excessively low amountmay result in the insufficient reaction while use of too much catalystresults in the larger amount of the alkali required for neutralization,and this may lead to decrease of the solid content in the system orinstability of the emulsion due to the increase metal ion.

As described above, conventional catalysts such asdodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid arenot preferable for use in the present invention. The catalyst used inthe present invention is preferably the one wherein the skin irritancyas described below is up to 10.

In this case, even if the strong acid conventionally used is substitutedwith a weak acid such as acetic acid or butyric acid, unreacted materialmay be left or the resulting product may have a small molecular weight,failing to obtain a product having necessary property.

By using ascorbic acid, citric acid or lactic acid and adjusting thepolymerization temperature, the polymerization time and the amount ofacid, there can be obtained good cosmetic material.

When the emulsion polymerization is conducted by using the ingredientsas described above, the amount of the water is preferably 50 to 200parts by weight in relation to 100 parts by weight of cyclicorganosiloxane.

In the present invention, the polymerization as described above may beconducted by the method and conditions known in the art. When thecatalyst used is a weak acid in the polymerization, higher temperaturetends to result in the higher degree of polymerization. In the presentinvention, the temperature preferably used in the polymerization is 55to 85° C., more preferably 65 to 75° C. The polymerization time isproperly selected although it is preferably about 1 to 40 hours. Too lowpolymerization temperature such as room temperature may not cause thering opening or may insufficiently cause the ring opening. Too highpolymerization temperature may not keep the stability of the emulsion.

In the present invention, the straight chain or branchedorganopolysiloxane is obtained in the form of an emulsion, and theresulting emulsion may be used either without further dilution orconcentration, or with dilution or concentration to a solidconcentration of 20 to 50% by weight, and in particular, 30 to 50% byweight.

The mixing of the reaction product of an amino group-containingorganoxysilane and an acid anhydride (the component (B)) with theorganopolysiloxane (the component (A)) and the drying results in theformation of a cured silicone which has undergone three dimensionalcrosslinking. Preferably, the reaction product is the aminogroup-containing alkoxysilane and the dicarboxylic anhydride, and in thepresent invention, the amino group-containing organoxysilane ispreferably an ethoxy group-containing silane in view of the cosmeticpurpose.

The starting amino group-containing organoxysilane is the onerepresented by the following general formula (2):

A(R)_(g)Si(OR)_(3-g)  (2)

wherein R is as defined above, A is an amino-containing grouprepresented by the formula —R¹(NHR¹)_(h)NHR² wherein R¹ is independentlya divalent hydrocarbon group such as an alkylene group containing 1 to 6carbon atoms. Examples of R¹ include methylene, ethylene, propylene,butylene, or hexylene group. R² is R or hydrogen atom, and h is aninteger of 0 to 6, preferably 0 or 1, and g is 0, 1, or 2. Examplesinclude:

(C₂H₅O)₃SiC₃H₆NH₂,

(C₂H₅O)₂(CH₃)SiC₃H₆NH₂,

(C₂H₅O)₃SiC₃H₆NHC₂H₄NH₂,

(C₂H₅O)₂(CH₃)SiC₃H₆NHC₂H₄NH₂,

(CH₃O)₃SiC₃H₆NH₂,

(CH₃O)₂(CH₃)SiC₃H₆NH₂,

(CH₃O)₃SiC₃H₆NHC₂H₄NH₂, and

(CH₃O)₂(CH₃)SiC₃H₆NHC₂H₄NH₂.

Since the alcohol generated is preferably ethanol, the OR group is mostpreferably ethoxy group.

The acid anhydride added for reaction with the amino group-containingorganoxysilane is preferably a dicarboxylic anhydride, and the onepreferable for cosmetic purpose is succinic anhydride.

Amount of the acid anhydride reacted is preferably 10 to 60 parts byweight, and more preferably 40 to 60 parts by weight in relation to 100parts by weight of the amino group-containing organoxysilane.Excessively low amount of the acid anhydride may result in low rubberproperty, and excessive amount may result in the yellowing of thereaction product.

The reaction process between the amino group-containing organoxysilaneand the acid anhydride may be readily accomplished at room temperatureor under heated conditions and, if desired, in a hydrophilic organicsolvent depending on the blend ratio of these components. Exemplaryhydrophilic organic solvent used in this reaction include alcohols suchas methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and butanol, ketones such as acetoneand methyl ethyl ketone, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran. Thehydrophilic organic solvent may be used in an amount of about 0 to 100%by weight of the reaction product.

The reaction temperature is not particularly limited as long as thetemperature is at least room temperature, and the reaction temperatureis preferably 20 to 100° C. The reaction time is not particularlylimited, and the reaction time is preferably 1 to 4 hours.

When the reaction between the amino group-containing organoxysilane andthe acid anhydride is conducted by using a hydrophilic organic solvent,the component (B) may be used either with or without removal of thesolvent.

The solid content (namely, the reaction product between the aminogroup-containing organoxysilane and the acid anhydride) in the reactionproduct is preferably in the range of 10 to 40% by weight and morepreferably about 20 to 30% by weight. Elastomeric property will beinsufficient when the solid content is too low, while excessively highcontent invites instability of the emulsion.

Amount of the reaction product (B) of the amino group-containingorganoxysilane and the acid anhydride is 0.5 to 20 parts by weight, andpreferably 1 to 10 parts by weight in relation to 100 parts by weight ofthe organopolysiloxane (A) containing at least two hydroxyl groupsbonded to the silicon atom per molecule. Excessively low content of thecomponent (B) results in poor rubber property while excessively highcontent results in the unstability of the emulsion and hard texture.

Mixing of the components (A) and (B) by a method known in the art using,for example, a stirrer, propeller agitator, or the like results in theformation of a crosslinkable silicone rubber emulsion emulsified anddispersed in water. The mixing may be conducted for 5 to 30 minutes, andpreferably, at a temperature of 10 to 30° C. As described above, mixingand curing of the component (A) and the component (B) results in theformation of a cured silicone which has undergone the three dimensionalcrosslinking.

The solid content in the silicone rubber emulsion is preferably about 20to 50% by weight, and more preferably 30 to 50% by weight.

The resulting silicone rubber emulsion may preferably have a viscosityas measured by a B viscometer of 10 to 5,000 mPa·s, and more preferably50 to 1,000 mPa·s.

For use of the silicone rubber emulsion in producing a cosmeticpreparation, the intrinsic viscosity as measured by an Ubbelohdeviscometer is preferably 0.1 to 0.9 mm²/s, and more preferably 0.3 to0.9 mm²/s so that the skin does not feel difference in rubber texture.

In this case, the viscosity can be adjusted by the addition ofcarboxyvinyl polymer, polyacrylic acid, or acrylic acid-acrylatecopolymer.

With regard to the average particle diameter measured by a laserdiffraction particle size distribution analyzer, the silicone rubberemulsion may have an average particle diameter of preferably up to 1 μm,and more preferably 100 to 300 nm.

The pH of the silicone rubber emulsion is preferably in the range of 6to 8.

As described above, silicone emulsions have been used in the form ofpowder due to insufficiency in the storage stability, separation, andthe like of the conventional silicone emulsions. In contrast, thesilicone rubber emulsion of the present invention has high storagestability with on separation even after 1 month.

The resulting silicone rubber emulsion is capable of forming a rubberfilm, and this film may be imparted with water repellency, steampermeability, confortability, and the like, and also, with waterresistance by crosslinking. Because of the reduced skin irritancy, thesilicone rubber emulsion is highly expected for use in cosmeticapplications such as hair-care preparations, skin-care preparations,make-up preparations, body-care preparations, sun screen, and inparticular, for skin-care applications.

The crosslinkable silicone rubber emulsion is preferably incorporated ata solid content of 5 to 50% by weight of the entire cosmeticpreparation. Sufficient effect may not be realized when the content isless than 5% by weight, while content in excess of 50% by weight mayresult in excessive rubber property unsuitable for cosmetic application.For example, Example 1 as described below is a mixture of 223 parts byweight (100 parts by weight of solid content) of the emulsion ofPreparation Example 1, 10 parts by weight (5 parts by weight of solidcontent) of the solution of Preparation Example 11, 200 parts by weightof isohexadecane, and 200 parts by weight of KF-6105 (manufactured byShin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. polyglycerin-modified silicone oil).Accordingly, content crosslinkable silicone rubber emulsion is105/633=16.5% by weight.

The cosmetic preparation may also include an oily ingredient, solvent,powder, and the like in addition to the crosslinkable silicone rubberemulsion invention.

Exemplary oily ingredients include hydrocarbons, silicone oils,triglycerides, ester oils, fats, waxes, higher fatty acids, and higheralcohols, and the particularly preferred are low boiling point siliconeoil, low boiling point isoparaffin hydrocarbon, and triglycerides, andester oils.

[Analysis]

The resulting emulsions were evaluated for their evaluation residue,viscosity, average particle diameter, intrinsic viscosity, storagestability by the procedure as described below. The results of theevaporation residue, viscosity, average particle diameter, and intrinsicviscosity are shown in Table 1.

Measurement of Evaporation Residue

About 1 g of the sample was weighed and placed on an aluminum foil dish,and heated in a dryer kept at 105 to 110° C. After heating for 1 hour,the sample was removed from the dryer and allowed to cool in adesiccator. The sample after drying was weighed and the evaporationresidue was calculated by the following equation:

$R = {\frac{T - L}{W - L} \times 100}$

-   R: evaporation residue (%)-   W: weight (g) of the aluminum foil dish and the sample before the    drying-   L: weight (g) of the aluminum foil dish-   T: weight (g) of the aluminum foil dish and the sample after the    drying-   Size of the aluminum foil dish: diameter 70 mm, height 12 mm

Measurement of Viscosity Using B Viscometer

The sample solution was kept at 23±0.5° C., and the viscosity wasmeasured by BM viscometer (No. 1 rotor, 6 rpm).

Measurement of Average Particle Diameter

0.01 g of the sample was weighed and evaluated for average particlediameter (the value of the particle diameter corresponding to 50% of theparticle size cumulative distribution) using a laser diffractionparticle size distribution analyzer (product name, LA-950V2 manufacturedby Horiba) to measure under the circulation flow rate 2 and agitationspeed 2.

Measurement Conditions

Measurement temperature: 25±1° C.

Solvent: ion exchanged water

Measurement of Intrinsic Viscosity

20 g of the emulsion was mixed with 20 g of IPA (isopropylalcohol) tobreak the emulsion to thereby obtain about 4.5 g of the silicone resin.After discarding IPA, the remaining rubbery silicone resin was driedovernight at 60° C., and measured for its viscosity at 25° C. by usingUbbelohde viscometer. Intrinsic viscosity was calculated from themeasurement time (specific viscosity of the toluene is 0.65, and theintrinsic viscosity is calculated from this value). See the followingequation.

-   (1) toluene solution of dimethylpolysiloxane at a concentration of 1    g/100 mL was prepared to determine the specific viscosity ηsp at 25°    C.

ηsp=(η/η0)−1

-   -   η0: viscosity of toluene, η: viscosity of the solution

-   (2) Next, ηsp is substituted in the relational equation of Huggins    to calculate intrinsic viscosity [η].

ηsp=[η]+K′[η] ²

-   -   K′: Huggins constant K′=0.3        -   (applicable when [η]=1 to 3)

-   [Reference] Nakamuta, Journal of the Chemical Society of Japan, 77    858 [1956]

The intrinsic viscosity is preferably in the range of 0.3 to 0.9 mm²/s.

Storage Stability

Storage stability after storing at room temperature for 1 month wasconfirmed. Change in viscosity and particle diameter was also confirmed.Separation or other changes were not found in all of PreparationExamples, and no change was also found for the viscosity and theparticle size. Sufficient long term stability was thereby confirmed.

[Evaluation Method]

The thus obtained O/W/O emulsion creams were evaluated for theirevaporation residue, texture (spreadability), softness, tackiness, skinirritancy by the procedure as described below. The results are shown inTable 2.

Evaporation Residue

The evaporation residue was measured as in the case of the emulsion asdescribed above.

Texture (Spreadability)

The spreadability was evaluated by placing 0.5 g of the cream on anartificial leather, and spreading the cream by moving one fingertip incircles (n=20). The spreadability of the Comparative Example 4 preparedby using a commercially available product was evaluated B, and theevaluation was conducted by using the Comparative Example 4 for thestandard.

A: spreadability higher than Comparative Example 4

B: equivalent with Comparative Example 4

C: spreadability lower than Comparative Example 4

Softness

The Softness of the Comparative Example 4 prepared by using acommercially available product was evaluated B, and the evaluation wasconducted by using the Comparative Example 4 for the standard.

A: lighter and softer texture than Comparative Example 4

B: equivalent with Comparative Example 4

C: inferior to Comparative Example 4

The evaluation was conducted by 10 people. The evaluation result of 6 ormore people is shown in the table.

Tackiness

The tackiness of the Comparative Example 4 prepared by using acommercially available product was evaluated B, and the evaluation wasconducted by using the Comparative Example 4 for the standard.

-   -   A: less oily and tacky than Comparative Example 4. Smooth with        no tackiness.    -   B: equivalent with Comparative Example 4    -   C: inferior to Comparative Example 4

The evaluation was conducted by 10 people. The evaluation result of 6 ormore people is shown in the table.

Skin Irritancy Test

Skin irritancy was evaluated by patch test (closed patch test) commonlyused in confirming skin irritancy of cosmetic preparations.

A circular filter paper having a diameter of about 5 mm with the O/W/Oemulsion cream, and this paper was adhered to upper arm by using analuminum disk (Finn chamber) having the same diameter as the filterpaper so that the filter paper was covered by the Finn chamber. The Finnchamber was secured by using a tape.

After 48 hours, the filter tape was peeled off the skin (patch removal),and the skin irritancy was evaluated by the skin reaction after 1 hourand 24 hours.

<Criteria>

-   -   No reaction: −    -   Slight erythema: ±    -   Erythema: +    -   Erythema and edema: ++    -   Erythema, edema, and small blisters: +++

The point given for each criterion was −: 0, ±: 0.5, +: 1.0, ++: 2.0,and +++: 3.0. The point multiplied by the number of people showing thecorresponding reaction was used as the score. The score of 1 hour afterthe patch removal (49 hour evaluation) and 24 hours after the patchremoval (72 hour evaluation) were calculated. The score divided by thenumber of subjects and multiplied by 100 is irritancy index. Theproducts with the irritancy index of up to 10 are safe products, 11 to30 are acceptable products, and improvement is required for the productswith the index in excess of 30.

Detailed results of the skin irritancy test are shown in Table 3.

Confirmation of Crosslinkability

Crosslinkability was confirmed by the actual progress of thecrosslinking. 5 g of the emulsion was dried at 105° C. for 3 hours toobtain a rubbery oil. 1 g of this oil component was dissolved in 100 gof toluene, and after stirring the solution for 1 hour and filtration,the insoluble content was collected by filtration through a nylon filtercloth and dried at 105° C. for 1 hour. The more residue after the dryingmeans higher degree of crosslinking. The value of 0.05% or higher wasdetermined to indicate the crosslinking.

Increase in the filter cloth weight (g)/1 g=%  equation:

KF-6105: apolyglycerin-modified silicone oil manufactured by Shin-Etsu ChemicalCo., Ltd.

As demonstrated by the results shown in Table 2, Comparative Examples 3and 4 prepared by using KM-903 and KM-910 can not be regarded aqueous,and emulsification and dispersion of the silicone oil was required. Thisis commercially disadvantageous for the production of the silicone resinemulsion which is used as the main ingredient of a cosmetic preparation.

In contrast, the Examples using the silicone rubber emulsion of thepresent invention had the texture (spreadability) comparable to theO/W/O emulsion cream of Comparative Example 1. With regard to thesoftness, the Examples using the silicone rubber emulsion of the presentinvention had characteristic rubber elasticity compared to simpledimethicone gum, and therefore, they have light and soft texture.Tackiness is also greatly improved compared to the silicone oil, and thesilicone rubber emulsions of the present invention are advantageous forcosmetic purpose compared to Comparative Examples 3 and 4 also in viewof the tackiness.

Accordingly, performance comparable to those of conventional products isrealized by the use of the silicone rubber emulsions of the presentinvention in producing the cosmetic products. Use of the silicone rubberemulsions of the present invention is also expected to bring the meritsof rubber performance to the cosmetic products.
